Student winners from all across campus gather to celebrate their winning entries into the annual Multimodal Writing Contest hosted by The Center for Writing Excellence.
The Center for Writing Excellence at Elon hosted an award ceremony in Belk Library to celebrate the winners of the sixth annual Multimodal Writing Contest.
The Center For Writing Excellence’s annual Multimodal Writing Contest was created to celebrate the innovative multimodal writing students are producing across the university, in their classes or in their on-campus or professional experiences. Hosted annually, all Elon University undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit entries.
There are nine entry categories, divided according to the program, school, or experience in which the multimodal text was produced: arts and sciences, communications, business, education, health sciences, law, CORE curriculum, campus involvement, and internships. The contest welcomes any composition using two or more modes, such as text, images, video, and audio.
